DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Thursday refused to respond to reports suggesting rapprochement with his son and expelled party leader M K Alagiri, saying he doesn't want to feed the media with any information on this matter.

In what appears to be a patch up bid after going hammer and tongs against his younger brother, expelled DMK leader MK Alagiri on Wednesday claimed differences with MK Stalin were based on policy and principles and nobody can `create a rift in our family relationship.`

Amid speculation about him campaigning in favour of Narendra Modi after he endorsed the BJP`s PM candidate, rebel DMK leader MK Alagiri is soon set to launch a statewide tour to hold consultations with loyalists across Tamil Nadu as he looks to galvanise them ahead of Lok Sabha polls.

Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla on Monday said the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam`s (DMK) decision to name A Raja as one of its Lok Sabha candidates, was an internal matter of that party.

Beleaguered DMK leader and party chief M Karunanidhi`s son MK Alagiri found himself in further trouble on Tuesday with his father and party chief rebuking him for his comments on alliance with DMDK and indicated that the Madurai-based leader could face action if he did not toe the party line.

Former Union Minister and DMK leader MK Alagiri today sought to downplay the meeting between him and his sister Kanimozhi, MP, here last week, which came days after showcause notices were issued to some of his loyalsits.
